Exterior angle c = the sun of the two opposite interior angles a and b.
10x -23 = 5x -17 + 7x -26
Combine the right side:
10x -23 = 12x -43
Add 43 to both sides:
10x +20 = 12x
Subtract 10x from both sides:
20 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2
X = 10
Now you have x replace it in the equation for A:
A = 5x -27 = 5(10) -27 = 50-27 = 23
Angle A = 23 degrees.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
1) "x is 23 more than 3 times y" is the same thing as "x = 23 + 3y"
REMEMBER: when you see "is" replace is with an equals sign.
2) Solve for x with your new equation.
3) Plug 6 into the y ("y = 6")
x = 23 + 3 x 6... x = 23 + 18... x = 41
4) Plug in your variables, and evaluate.
(41 - 6)/5... 35/5... 7!
Answer:
it's true! it's easier to solve for y because there's no coefficient in front of it unlike the second one that has "9y."
Do you have any answer choices?
